I read with great interest that Bexley was considering a traffic-speed-monitoring device that will write tickets for speeders, much like the stop-light devices that Columbus uses (“Speed cameras in Bexley?”
Dispatch article, Jan. 13).

Columbus should install these speed devices on Broadleigh and S. Chesterfield roads and Harding Avenue to catch the Bexley speeders who use these roads to bypass the speed-calming circle and speed bumps. Motorists go 40 mph and faster there every day, and run stop signs.

The expense would be recouped in a short time, and the city could buy snow plows and hire drivers.
